Residents of Barwessa ward in Baringo North sub county have threatened to kill more than 300 elephants that have invaded their farms. “On Wednesday night, the colony of elephants invaded my mangoes and banana farm and destroyed the fence and everything else,” resident William Chepkeitany told the Star today on Thursday. “Even pupils are no longer at ease walking to school for fear of being attacked by the aggressive elephants,” he said. Baringo KWS Senior Warden Dickson Too said he is aware of the residents complains and has assigned officers to conduct a survey on the ground.
